Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #258: Fences

A fence can be a simple working device to keep people or animals out of a space like a backyard or a pasture.  This interesting fence is on the perimeter of an airport.  I thought it looked beautiful in the snow.

Fed up with the Wall Street Journal

Once again, the young leftists writing the news stories in the Journal just have to get in a dig at America.  In an article about the riots in France, brought about "After Police Kill Teenager" (get the headline-you have to read more to know that the teenager in question fled from a traffic stop), they …

As we usually do, Hubby and I headed over to the Bellevue Downtown Park for the Independence Day fireworks show.  The park was wall-to-wall people, blankets, and tents.

THE BAGGIE OF COCAINE FOUND IN THE WHITE HOUSE BELONGS TO HUNTER BIDEN

Don't let the lying, scheming, covering-up-for-the-Biden-Crime Family Media bamboozle you.  The headline of this post is the truth.  Joe has been covering up for his dissolute son's drug use, employment of prostitutes, and money-laundering for many years.  Don't expect him to stop now.  Don't give in the the government gaslighting. Video came out today, showing …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #256: Kitchen Inspiration

It is sometimes surprising, but you can find beautiful photo subjects in even the most mundane kitchen.  You don't need to have fancy fixtures or gourmet dishes.  One evening, as I was preparing some of the veggies I add to my recipe for Enhanced Sloppy Joes, I noticed how interesting the onion I was slicing …

Dispatch from the Seattle-area Cesspool

It's been a while since I filed a new dispatch from the cesspool that the Seattle area has become.  Each day's news is filled with new stories of shootings, home invasions, homeless-camp proliferation, and many other declines in the quality of life in our formerly beautiful area.  You literally cannot go anywhere without seeing tents …
